The Kumamoto Tax Bureau (Atsushi Kitamura, Hiroshi Oka) and Tokyo Tax Bureau's Hideto Nakamura repeatedly state “based on the law” – yet no one questions the inspections, despite the reality that 15 people developed mental illnesses.

Global Union has positioned the reality that while Hiroshi Oka of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau Investigation Division 3 and Hideto Nakamura of the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau Investigation Division 21 repeatedly expressed "investigations based on laws and regulations" and "reporting to upper management," the investigations have continued without substantive questioning being conducted, as the simultaneous occurrence of institutional dysfunction and serious human rights issues, and has stepped up to a full-scale response.

Global Union has determined that, regarding the series of actions taken by Hiroshi Oka of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau Inspection Division 3 and Hideto Nakamura of the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau Inspection Division 21, given that both individuals clearly responded to union members that "this matter is based on laws and regulations" and "everything has been reported to upper management," these actions have reached a stage where they should be evaluated not merely as the judgment of individual employees, but as the official intention of the Regional Taxation Bureau as a whole.

That answer is being questioned to society.
